READING RACES.-FRIDAY. With such a large programme as 8 well filled races, an error was unquestionably committed in not fixing the hour for commencement before 2 o'clock. If the sale of year lings had been appointed for 11 o'clock, the usual hour for blood-stock sales, the racing, in order not to clash, could have begun at half-past 1, The numerous races brought out large fields, and the weather being fine flat) immense amount of sport provided was greatly enjoyed by the multi tude of persons assembled. Although the " finishes" were not of the exciting character of the previous day, there were several interesting contests, that between Czarina and Con tract particularly creating an immensity of excitement. The quick discerning public immediately signified their dis approbation of the way in which Manchester was ridden in the Thames Handicap, but there was no doubt that young Holman was caught "napping," and the outburst of indig nation was premature. The owner backed Manchester for a considerable sum, and very properly determined to bring the matter before the stewards, who, after hearing the evidence, will no doubt acquit the jockey of the grave charge which the public, by their conduct when the horse returned into the weighing-room, imputed.

AQUATICS. ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB. Two races were on the card of the programme for yester day of this famous club—one for cutters and yawls, and the other for schooners. It was a dead calm early in the morning, but towards 10 a.m. (the time announced for the start of the vessels entered for the first race) a light breeze sprung up from W.N.W., and soon steadied down to a light sailing breeze, with a promise of more to follow; and at 10 a.m. precisely the vessels engaged in the following race were started, the coarse being commenced to the eastward, with the wind at W.N. W. and the tide at flood : A prize of £5O, open to all cutters and yawls belonging to any Royal Yacht Club. Time race, half Ackers's scale. Thames measurement.

T h e Mos clAusittaor Astarte came e secon d, a bout t er a and further n Vindex, Osprey, and Emmet t b eing , I IP under the Sand head. The Aline, heading the senoort ero astern, at Spithead, the The Volante and fat 1 65 was in a asmile to alard line with Stokes Bay pier from Ryde pier, standing along the bay shore, with the Albertine a short distance astern and a cable's length to leeward, the Madcap being at about the same distance from the Albertine. Blue Bell came next, with the others at longer intervals astern. From the Nab to Stokes Bay the wind had fallen very light, but soon after the headmost vessels of each class had entered the bay the wind freshened a little, with a l ook a way to windward that bore the appearance of a coming increase of the breeze as the day wore on. Of the cutters the Banshee was the first to catch the increase in the breeze as it c ome __ p u from about W. by N., and she went along beautifully Under its influ ence: The Mosquito, from her position as second, next caught it, and a struggle now ensued 'westward between these respective representatives of steel and iron. At 215 p.m. all the vessels in both matches—cutters and schooners —were on the port tack, and a good idea may be formed of the area they covered when we state that the line extended from the Noman fort, near the Bramble shoal. At 235 the Banshee went about under Calshot, and was immediately followed by Mosquito, both carrying a slashing W.N.w. breeze from off the land with them to the west buoy of the middle, which was rounded by them and other leading vessels of both classes in this order and time : Bans C h utters. S. Cutter. u.M. s 2 51 53 Schooner. Mosquito Volante The Banshee, after weathering the buoy hugged the island shore too much, and lost breeze and tide. The Mosquito, on the other hand, kept more off, and feeling extra tide and wind, passed the Banshee and took first place. The first round was completed by cutters and schooners by passing to the eastward on the second round between Ryde Pier head and the mark boat as follows: Cutters. H. H. s.

The Banshee, after lying to for some time, just as she should have been making for the Nab, in wake of Mosquito, with topsail and foresail down, and the tack of her mainsail up, bore up for Ryde Roads, with apparently something amiss with her masthead. The Vindex, too, had just previously given in, and bore up for the same anchorage with two reefs down in her mainsail and the leech split, the Madcap hav ing shoved her jibboom through it in rounding the Noman buoy. The Nab was rounded the second time by the lead ing vessels as follows : Cutters. H. M. S. Schooners. H. M. S. Mosquito .. 4 25 3 Alino Volante 4 35 55 Albertine Astarte Osprey .. In reaching to the westward from the Nab the Astarte carried away her boystay and, giving up the race, breught up in Ryde roads. The Vestal and Emmet gave up the race when off Ryde at 6 p.m. The wind continued steady at west, and both cutters and schooners yet remaining in the race continued their course with every prospect of conclud. ing it before sunset, although the vessels were not in when leading their respective classes, and were running up before the wind for Ryde between the Motherbank and Osborne. The race finished as follows c H, M. S. H. M. S. Aline Albertine 6 52 55 Volante .. 6 55 5 A grand pyrotechnic display took place last night on the battery of the Royal Victoria Yacht Clubhouse and on board the yachts afloat. The annual ball was given at the Clubhouse in the evening. To-day boat racing and other aquatic sports off Ryde pier and the Club-house bring to a conclusion this week's regatta of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, but on Tuesday next the ocean matches of the club will commence with the Commodore's Cup. A prize, value £lOO, will be given by Mr Charles Thellusson, for all yachts belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. To be sailed from Ryde to Torquay. Time race, double Ackors's sale; time to be allowed at starting. Yawls to be classed as schooners. The cup is a work that reflects great credit upon the makers and designers, Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-street, and is equal in style to any of their well kaown Doncaster or Goodwood cups. It is entirely of dead gold and matted frosted silver, possessing that air of quiet refinement so agreeable to the eye in works of art composed of the precious metals, while its subdued effect aids the modeller in the development of the beautifully conceived " Syrens of the deep," that form the handles, these syrens being double-tailed mermaids' spreading their finny forms over the body of the cup, the body springing boldly outwards for the handles, and the hands of each figures playing on mystic lyres. The cover of the cup is surmounted by an infant Neptune, astride a dolphin. The cup is strictly utilitarian, as it forms a large claret bottle to hold three magnums, and has been manufactured entirely from the suggestions of Commodore Thellusson, who gave the commission for its execution in February last, thereby affording ample time for the work to be carefully accomplished. Messrs London and Ryder had the honour of submitting the oup to the inspection of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who expressed him self as greatly pleased with it. The cup bears the following inscription in silver letters upon a gold ground .—" Pre. sented to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, by Charles Thel lusson, Esq., Commodore.

The three months of dry weather was relieved by a storm of hail on Tuesday night, followed by short showers during Wednesday, but very little trace of rain remains to-day (Thursday), the roads being as dusty and the fields as dry and parched as over. Harvest has come on rapidly, and in several places the mowing machine and the lithe are at work, and next week a general start will be made. The dry weather has caused the wiater and early spring sown crops to ripen together, but there are many of the later crop s which were retarded for want of rain which are quite green, These in many instances are being:mown for cattle fodder. Sufficient of the crop has not yet been cut to teat the opinions entertained of the yield. but the expectation is that, though good in quality, the cereals will be light in quantity. The lice plague still exists to a great extent on wheat, but is worst on poor lands. Farmers now think lightly of the matter, and say no apparent damage has been done by the insects. The crop, of course, will not bear com parison with the remarkable produce of last year, but a fair average crop it is expected will be obtained. The dry weather has been the cause of this. On the whole the Der went and Rye valleys are as promising as any of the corn growing districts of the county. Turnips have benefited a little from the rain, but are very poor as a whole. MIDLAND COUNTIES. During the past week there has been a change in the weather—it has been much cosier, and refreshing showers have fallen. Harvest operations are now general in tho Midland district, and there are various reports as to the probable yield of the crops. In Leicestershire on the light sands any gravelly sails wheat is short in straw and thin on the ground, and the yield will prove light; on the loamy soils the crops are expected to be a full average, and the quality promises to be very fine. Wheat on these and stony soils looks exceedingly well, and a good yield is anticipated The pea crop has answered well this year, but beans are almost a failure through want of moisture. Barley has been improved by the late rains. Oats vary. On the whole, the crops in Leicester are hardly expected to reach an average. Hay has been secured in excellent order, but the yield is light. Potatoes, as yet, are free from disease. Turnips and mangolds are very poor crops. In Notting. hamshire the wheat crops vary considerably, and may be classed as ;moderately good on the loamy soils, sha thin and light on the weaker kinds. On the hot gravelly lands they are very poor. The crops are not an average on any de scription of soil, so far as their appearance in bulk goes, and there is no doubt in the ultimate yield also. The barley crops, where sown early, present the best appearance of any of the cereals, and will approach nearer an average than either wheat or oats. Beans are only a middling crop on all sorts of land. Oats are exceedingly irregular, and the best crops will fall considerably short of last year's pro duce. On the best soils the quality will be good, but on the light lands and strong soils there will be a great deal of light grain. The turnip crop is almost a failure. Potatoes are vety varied. The hay crop is estimated at one third to one half less than an average. HUNTINGDONSHIRE. Farmers are now in the midst of harvest operations in this county. The wheat crops vary very much in. point of yield. Straw is abundant, and the deficiency in the kernel is ascribed to the long abs3nce of rain, and the sultry weather of the past few weeks has dried and ripened the grain too fast. The hot gravel lands have suffered most in this respect. Of the barley crops scarcely any complaints are made. Peas have been secured in good condition. Beans are spoken very indifferently of ; the fly and the drought have greatly deteriorated them, and the crops are almost a failure. Turnips have been benefited by the late rains, but the crop will be very poor. Pastures require more moisture, Potatoes are much smaller than. usual, LINCOLNSHIRE. The harvest continues to make steady progress. At Spald ing the new wheats are reported to vary very much in quality, and to be much below last year's growth in quan tity as well as quality. On the whole, however, it appears probable that there will be a tolerable yield. Oats are short. In the neighbourhood of Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire, wheat cutting is now being vigorously prosecuted. The wheat crops vary very much in respect to yield ; straw is abundant, and the deficiency in the kernels is ascribed to the long absence of rain, while the ripening process was rapid. Barley promises pretty well and peas are a fair crop, but beans are almost a failure. In the Holbeach district wheat cutting is at its height. The wheat crops are here reported to be good, and promise an abundant yield of good quality. Beans and peas are also generally good, but the same cannot be said of the oats. Round Lincoln a great breadth of corn has been cut, and the yield, although no equal to that of last year, will be fair, and the quality of the grain will be exoellent, At Crowland the wheats are of good quality and an average yield is anticipated; oats are rather short in the straw. At Epworth the long-continued drought has operated injuriously on the growing crops, but there are still some nice fields of wheat not heavy, bat good : on some of the low lands, where severe frostsin May injured the corn, the yield will be deficient. At Kirten Lindsey the yield of wheat will be quite an average, while the quality will be good. An absence of Irish labourers has been remarked here this year, and reaping machines have come greatly in vogue. Lord Palmerston's Visit to Saltaire. Lord Palmerston's stay in the neighbourhood of Bradford was brought to a close on Wednesday by a visit to the famous works of Messrs. Titus Salt, Sons, and Co., at Sal taire. The noble lord proceeded from Lightcliffe in Mr Ripley's carriage, accompanied by Mr Ripley. Mr Edward Ripley, jan„ and Mr Ashley, private secretary to his lord ship, and, passing through Bradford on the way, reached Saltaire about half-past one. The machinery had com menced running a little before his arrival, at the usual hour after dinner, but a large number of the workpeople speedily assembled outside the mill, and, with others who had gathered from the adjacent village of Shipley and the neighbourhood, gave his lordship a most enthusiastic wel come. Lord Palmerston was received by Mr T. Salt, and in company with him and other gentlemen first visited the Congregational Church, then the school-room, and after wards went into several portions of the extensive mill, and was shown most of the wonderful processes of manufacture carried on. Hie lordship was much interested in what he saw, and appeared anxious for information in matters of de tail. In his progress from one room to another the noble lord frequently made use of the hoist, Mr Salt attending him in these brief journeys. When ho had arrived at the centre of the immense weaving shed the engines were stopped for five minutes, and the hands in the adjacent portions of the mill took advantage of the opportunity to crowd into the room and unite in cheering his lordship. There could not have been fewer than 2,000 people present. i lira lordship entnnleteri hi. toms throurls the eatablielueeut. by inspecting the engines and the large iron bridge which spans the Aire close to the works. He was then entertained at luncheon in the private dining room, and at a quarter past four departed for London by the Scotch express train, which was stopped at Saltaire for the pur pose. The noble lord displeyed one of his characteristic peculiarities by declining an offer to procure the two tickets required, and went to the window of the booking office to obtain them himself. The Midland Company had supplied a special carriage for his lordship's accommodation, and we may add that the Great Northern Company showed a similar mark of attention on his journey down on Monday by placing a splendid saloon carriage at his service. After the nobie lord had entered the carriage he was again enthu siastically cheered, which was continued till the train moved away,Lord Palmerston bowing his acknowledgments. The train arrived at the Wellington station, Leeds, at 4 40. The fact that his lordship was to visit this town on his way to London was not generally known, and those who were on the platform were merely the ordinary passengers by the trains arriving and departing about that time. It was not long, however, before Lord Palmerston was recognised, and the welcome which he had hitherto universally received in his visit to Yorkshire was equalled at Leeds, if not in extent at least in cordiality. His lordship alighted from the car riage in which he was seated and shook hands with many of those who speedily surrounded him. The kindly manner in which he received the greeting of the crowd culminated in his recognition of the enthusiasm of a boy, whose evi dent desire to be noticed by the Premier was not unre warded. With a pleasant smile his lordship held out his hand to his youthful admirer, and said, "Here, young one; give us your paw." It need not be added that this further proof of geniality was received with the utmost favour by the spectators, amid whose farewell cheers the train moved at ten minutes to 5, The Railway Accident at Margate. DiARGATE, Friday Evening. The adjourned inquest on the body of Susannah Lock, killed at the Margate Station of the South-Eastern Rail way, was resumed this afternoon, at the Town-hall. Mr Towne, Margate, was in attendance on the part of the rail way company; Mr Boys, Margate, for Darby, the station inspector, and Mr Fox, Dover, for Marshall, the guard. On Thursday, the 4th inst., the jury returned a verdict pub lished in The Sun of the following day, in which they ex pressed their " opinion that neglect of duty by the guard and the inspector was the primary cause of the collision, and the consequent death cf Mrs Lock." This verdict, the coroner stated, was one of manslaughter against the two men named, and, without asking the jury to sign it, fur ther adjourned the inquest till Monday, when it was arranged that the inquiry should be closed. On that day, however, the coroner (Mr Payne, Dover) did not come, but sent an intimation to the effect that the inquest must be further adjourned, which intimation was conveyed to the jurors. At the appointed tune, however, some of the jury attended. Mr Sleigh, the barrister, was also present pre pared'to offer some evidence in behalf of the inspector, Wm. Darby. Mr Sleigh stated the object for which he had attended, and animadverted in strong terms on the course pursued by the coroner in not being present at tho time for which the adjourned inquest was fixed, and not having stated any reason to account for his absence. The names of the jury having been called over, and all being present, ' The Coroner addressed them at some length. He said that the jury having returned a verdict of manslaughter, it was necessary that it should be submitted to counsel in order that the inquisition might be drawn np in the proper and legal form. He accordingly sent up the paper on Saturday night, hut unfortunately the counsel was at Staplehurst, and it was therefore impossible to get the in quisition down by the required time. He knew it would be useless for him to come to Margate empty handed, and he therefore wrote to the summoning officer stating that the inquest must be further adjourned for a day or two. Under the circumstances, he considered this a reasonable course to pursue. Having received the inqui sition from counsel, ho at once issued the notices for the jury to attend that day. lie then proceeded to read the inquisition which contained the particulars of the accident, and concluded thus;—" That the jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths, do say that the said Susannah Lock, in manner and by means aforesaid, and by culpable neglect of duty of the said Henry Marshall and William Darby, cause to her death, and that the said Henry Marshall and William Darby maliciously and feloniously did kill and slay the said Su sannah. Lock." A lengthened di s cussion ensued upon the wording of the inquisition, and the jury ultimately refused to sign it, on the ground that it did not properly set forth their opinions. They objected to the words " culpable," " maliciously." and "slay," and after a long private deliberation the coroner consented to strike those words out. The last paragraph of the inquisition was therefore to the effect that the accident was caused through the neglect of duty of Marshall and Darby, and that they feloniously did kill the deceased. The inquisition having been altered, the Coroner and jury signed it. The Coroner then committed William Darby and Henry Marshall to the assizes to answer any indictment that may Naval and Military Intelligence, The Duke of Somerset and other Lords of the Ad ' miralty commenced the annual inspection of the naval departments at Davenport by a visit to the dockyard. The five building slips which have pro duced so large a number of ships during the last half century are now almost deserted. Nos. 2 and 5 are unoccupied'. No. 1 h as a k ee l laid arid a stern partly up; in No. 3, the Robust, 81, is partly pl an k e d about the bends ; and in No. 4. there is the frame of the later, 36, but occasionally not a single artisan is Occupied on any of them. The ironcene. screw steam frigate Caledonis, 35, in No. 1 dock, eppenred to excite the special observation of their lordships. Her sides are being prepared, eomewhat like those of the Zealous at Keyham, to resist the galvanic action of the copper sheathing. The upper tier of sheathing has been removed, and vertical bars of iron,3 inches broad by -I inch thick, have been bolted about 3 feet apart on the iron plating. On these bars a easing of teak 3 inches thick has been fixed, having grooves to receive the bars. The casing begins two feet above the load line, and runs down seven feet, which is five inches below the iron plates. The new tier of copper sheathing runs up just high enough to overlap the teak three inches, so that there is a space of about four inches between the upper edge of the copper and the iron plating, and a distcnce of 4ft 9in from the coppe r to the load line. For this depth in the sea the sides of the Caledonia present only the teak casing already d ee. scribed. The Lords of the Admiralty have, hove, ever, given orders that there shall be applied on a portion of the casing a new sheathing by Mr Jeet teley, which he terms "union metal." Unlikeyollow metal, which is a mixture of copper and zinc, Bet.. teley's consists of copper ou one side and of a. white metal like pewter on the other. The inventor cone tends that his sheets are so well adapted for iron cased ships that if they were fitted directly on the plates no injury through galvanic action could arise. The results of this experiment will be looked for with considerable interest. It is understood that the Caledonia will be fitted for a flag ship, and that she will 2 .have a poop and topgallant forecastle. Since the last visit of the Lords of the Admiralty to De vonport dockyard three jetties, 40ft broad, have been constructed, facing Hamoaze,, so that ships of greater draught can lie alongside at low springs when the depth is 27ft. An annihilator for service) in case of fire has also been erected. It stands ea three hollow legs; one is fed from the inner mr.st pond, one is used as a waste pipe, and the third is for the supply of water in case of fire. The cistern stands at a height of 100 ft, and the water will rise with considerable force 60 or 70 feet; it is driven up by the engine of thesaw mill adjacent. It is pro. bable that two of the docks in the yard will b e lengthened. At 2 o'clock the Duke entered the Admiral's barge and went on board the ironcased screw steamship Ocean, 35, in Hamoaze. Their lordships then paid a short visit to Keyham, and subsequently embarked on board the steam tender Princess Alice, which conveyed them to Drake's Island, where, in company with Earl de Grey and Ripon and Cols. lervoise and Shuttleworth (who during the day had visited the north-eastern forti fications), they inspected the new bomb-proof half moon battery on the eastern facing of the island. Afterwards they made a course in the steam tender round the breakwater, and then landed on the works of the Shovel Rock Fort, which are close to and just inside that structure. Their Lordships were received by Mr. Hutton, resident engineer, and Mr Orraiston, agent for the contractors. Last year the surface of the work's was 30ft. below high water ; now it ir above that mark, being of a height from the bottom of above 60ft. The fort up to low.. water mark, is constructed of largo blocks of Port, eleed cement concree. and ffirpri sc,ith ci_ranifp powder magazines, tunes, s t ores, :c., are of work, and are now in progress. Tne first stone was laid on the 11th March, last year, and the last on the 6th of this month, leas than 17 months ago. From the sound the Duke of Somerset returied to Osborne, in Ilernoaze, where his Grace and b is col leagut s entertained the chiefs of the various dopert. meats, the officers in command of ships and others. Capt. J. Seacombe, and the effieers of Her Ma.. jesty's ship Duke of Wellington, at Portsmouth, gave a ball on board their ship on Thursday even.. lag, at which upwards of 900 guests were received. The supper tables occupied the entire length of the main deck. The ship was moored alongside the jetty of the dockyard, and the jetty itself was con. verted for, the occasion into a vast reception tent and promenade. The police arrangements in the dockyard were most excellent. Major Gen. Warde, C. 8., attended by Brigade Major Hay, Captain Nangle, Deputy Assist Quarter Master General, Captain Williams, A.D.C„ Captain Lirdner Clarke, Superintendent of Gymnasia, and other officers, yesterday inspected the classes of noncommissioned officers and men of the 13th brigade, R.A., and the Royal Marines, who have passed through a course of gymnastic exercises. The whole of the men went through the exerciese (no r a material portion of their ordinary drill) and ac quitted themselves most satisfactorily. - Her Majesty's steam vessel Monkey, employed in dockyard purposes at Woolwich, Mr Smithers, master in command, yesterday embarked Major D. Sarsfield Greene and 150 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the C battery C Brigade Royal Horse Artillery, to undergo a course of gun. nery instruction at Shoeburyness. The Monkey returned to Woolwich by the evening tide, bringing back to headquarters Major Dickson and No. 2 bat tery of the 13th Brigade Royal Artillery, having terminated their gunnery practice for the season. DEATH OF MR C. W. DILKE.—Mr Charles W. Dilke, well known as the proprietor of the Athei nseum newspaper, died on Wednesday last at his estate, Alice Holt, near Farnham, in Surrey. Mr Dilke, who was 74 years of age, was father of Sir Charles Dilke, who was recently created a baronet for his exertions in connection with horticulture, art, and the Prince Consort. Mr Dilke purchased the Atha:mum when it had been reduced to a very low ebb in its literary as well as its financial condition, under the auspices of Mr James Silk Buckingham. He and the brilliant staff of writers whom he introduced to the paper raised it to the position which it now occupies. Mr Dilke himself did not of late write much, though to the last he continued to take a deep interest in the journal which, by his ability and :tact, he had made a flourishing property. He was himself chiefly known in the literary world for his intimate acquaintance with the times of Queen Anne. THE SANITARY STATE OF METROPOLITAN D for careful att en ti on.

In ono way the demoli tion of the dwellings which have given place to the e,,n struction of railways and other modern changes, is scarcely to be regretted, for it was not easy to overestimate the evil condition of many of them; but the mischief is, that no sufficient provisions of suitable d wr , llin,7s for the i n dustrious classes, and otla - ,is of loni',ed income, had been made in their place.—Puil(br.
